Cowboys signed CB Orlando Scandrick to a one-year, $9.5 million contract extension through 2019.

See, holding out does work sometimes. The total value of Scandrick's new five-year deal is worth $20 million. Scandrick skipped voluntary workouts earlier this offseason before reporting to the team this week. He was already under contract through 2018, but was scheduled to earn just $1.5 million this season and $3 million in each of 2016-2018. With Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne on the roster bubble, keeping Scandrick happy was a necessity for Dallas. May 22 - 9:39 AM

Cowboys CB Orlando Scandrick will report to team workouts Monday at Valley Ranch.

He's been holding out for a new contract and it looks like the two sides should have a new deal in place by the end of the week. Scandrick is likely headed for a big raise. The 28-year-old finished tenth out of 108 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' 2014 cornerback ratings. May 17 - 12:45 PM

CB Orlando Scandrick is in Dallas meeting with the Cowboys about his contract.

Scandrick is staying away from offseason workouts to protest his current contract, which is set to pay him $1.5 million in 2015. He has a case for a raise, as he was one of the league's top corners last year and a major key to Dallas' shockingly-competent defensive performance. The Cowboys' willingness to meet with Scandrick suggests some kind of raise is coming. May 12 - 11:55 AM

"He’s under contract, but not unlike a lot of players, they’d like to have more," Jones said. "If something makes sense for us to add some years or do something then we’ll take a look at that, but we just re-did Orlando’s contract a couple years ago." Scandrick, set to earn just $1.5 million in 2015, didn't show up for voluntary workouts earlier this week. He's signed cheaply through 2018. Apr 22 - 9:36 AM

Darren McFadden's hamstring injury is not to the leg that sidelined him in OTAs.

Unbelievable. (But not really.) Coach Jason Garrett is "hopeful" DMC will be back in a "week or so," but the Cowboys are learning all they need to know about McFadden's lack of durability. McFadden was already far from a roster lock, but his inability to stay on the field in even shorts and a t-shirt is likely doing major damage to his 53-man odds.
